intuition - that something wasnt right?

Hi there, I have just miscarried after going for my 12 week scan where the foetus was only the size of a 4-5 week old. After another scan it was confirmed that the foetus had indeed stopped developing - in fact the foetal pole was missing so it had probably been absorbed into the pregnancy tissue. Anyway, I`m just curious about `intuition`. Apart from maybe right at the start of my pregnancy I kind of felt like a bit of a fraud - we were telling people I was pregnant and I had had a positive test, and I was getting symptoms such as sore breasts and tiredness, but yet I didnt really feel like I was pregnant and that I was actually gonna have a baby. And I had a really strong feeling before the scan that all would not be well, and it wasnt. After speaking to my husband he also had these feelings, although neither of us voiced them at the time. Do you think intuition can be that strong and reliable, even in the case of the father?

I've had 3 and hope you have a lot of support. i do believe when your pregnant you can easily think something is wrong, butsaying that deep down I think with all of my m/c I had an idea things weren't right even when we were so wanting our babies if that makes sense. We also had other medical issues that complicated our pregnancies so I guess that put a bit of doubt there anyway. Thankfully after all our bad news we have 7 very healthy children with one on the way. I wish you good luck.

bee86 - 602 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I believe you can have an intuition..but from what i noticed on this site that most women worry and think the worse and a lot of them turn out okay. It's natural to worry and think tihs is too go to be true. So don't let this disturb you for things to come! I'm so sorry for your loss.

Mary-K - 602 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) first off I am sorry for your loss...def never easy to loss a little one no matter how far along we are. I too lost a baby between 10-12weeks. at my first appointment we determined I was 8 weeks along...i know my dates were spot on because we were trying to have a baby and I kept track of everything...anyway when he brought me into the examining room to get my weight and all that and give me an US he said baby was only measuring 6 weeks but he didn't seem worried and never said anything. but From the moment I had the positive pregnancy test I just felt something was not right. I was having morning sickness, was tired, had sore breasts, all that but I just knew something was not right then after that doctors visit I knew something was wrong and 2 weeks later I woke up in the morning and was bleeding...US tec said there was a sac but no baby and where I should have been 8 weeks but baby looked 6 weeks they think I lost baby at 6 weeks but never had the actual bleeding and such till now....anyway I just knew and Jamie (my hubby) looked at me and he was like how did you know? all those times you told me you felt something was wrong...how did you know...I have no idea I just knew...I know every pregnancy is different but this pregnancy I felt nothing like I did when I was pregnant with our son even though I had all the same symptoms...the pregnancy itself just did not feel right. very weird for sure but made it no easier even though I just knew.

suzm - 602 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am so sorry for your loss. I would agree to trust your intuition. I lost a baby at 11.5 weeks back in March, and even though we also starting telling people at 10 weeks, I just had a feeling that something wasn't right. I even had a couple of dreams and my DH kept telling me not to worry, but I knew and sure enough when we went for the ultrasound the baby's heart was on the outside of the body and it only lived a few more days past that. He hates when I tell people that Ijust knew something wasn't right. Now - I am 18.5 week pregnant again and that worked a bit against me, because I worried if I was having that feeling again and doubting myself. Pleased to say that all is going well. Best of luck to you - take care.

hanfromman - 602 days ago Its good to hear that someone else has experienced something similar. I kept telling myself to stop being silly and that what I think has no bearing on reality, but I think next time I will trust myself a bit more. And similarly, if I feel good about a pregnancy in the future, then I will try and trust that a bit, even though I think I'll be scared in all future pregnancies!

jamie86 - 602 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had that feeling last year and I was right. I lost my baby at 7 weeks in march and had a feelig the whole time that something was wrong. I was given hope because I saw and heard the heartbeat on the u/s twice and once the day before the baby grew it's wings. I don't know how the intuition would be for the father though as most men don't really connect until later where as women connect the second they find out they are pregnant

ITZmeASH - 602 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i believe your intuition can be that strong. My son in 2009 was born without his left hand. This was never detected in any of his ultrasounds, it was discovered upon his birth. The whole pregnancy i told my husband "something just doesn't seem right" and he told me not to worry, ultrasounds all looked good, everything was fine. The day my water broke and we went to the hospital i said "I don't know what it is, but something just doesn't seem right" After he was born, it all made sense why i was having these feelings. I am very sorry for your loss.
